Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

Watched the Arsenal game as I had a decent bet on Bayern Munich to win-great value at odds against playing at home. Arsenal created very little and deserved to lose-our English players Rice and Saka looked far from players that will get us the win in the Euros back in Germany and once again Odegaard...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Having grown up watching League 1 football, it doesn't bother me. It's the nervous excitement on the morning of matchday, it's the anticipation of a hard fought game that gets me interested. This is the first season in years where I've got that Even in the Premiership, I didn't give a shit about wh...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

I know it's just a bit of a meme, but I do find it a bit silly that, across social media, Kane is openly mocked. He's the second highest PL scorer in history, and he's gone to Germany and got 39 in 39 games for Bayern. Not to mention his 62 goals for England. This isn't a play who doesn't deliver -...

Re: transfer deadline day thread

He’s certainly not a bad player and still relatively young My main problem with him is as a big tall CB he just never really dominates in the air in the way you watch other CBs at that level do. Often gets beaten in the air and likewise doesn’t get on the end of corners etc when attacking very ofte...

Re: Weekend Football

Is Arteta seriously leaving Jesus and Zinchenko on? I think Man City must have rubbed their hands with joy and laughed when collecting the money from Arsenal for those two-City knew what they were doing despite the so-called experts criticising their sales at the time. Regarding Ascot Gunner's deri...

Wasn't the Town End the away end? Yes it was Only once segregation became a thing. I have been to games when the Tilehurst End was the away end (official) and where everyone was just mixed in.

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Hopefully we can make some more freebie signings and a few Prem. loans again. This season I think the club did well in those areas but we need at least another 5-6 to entertain a team capable of a promotion push. Of the current lot I would like to see Bindon, Yiadom, Knibbs and Wing as the nucleus a...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Winston Biscuit I reckon today's results should really be enough to see Leicester through to the Prem.

Pompey all but promoted too


It could be teams playing in blue win all 3 divisions outside the Prem-add Chesterfield from the Conference and that would surely be some record.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

The one plus from yesterday (apart from the point) was the performance of Elliot. At last he was played between centre and right midfield whereas previously Selles had played him wide right which is a dreadful position for a right-footed player. Looking at those players yesterday I felt that only Bi...

Re: Do you ever wear a football shirt?

I get why people might wear them for doing some sport or around the house/gardening as they are comfortable and very washable. What I don't get is adults over about 20 or so wearing them, especially fat blokes and it seems like most shirt-wearing fans are fat. They definitely look better on women. ...

Re: England - the future....

Most football managers IMHO have a fear of losing, especially those without the strongest of squads and playing defensively first and foremost can take you a long way. Southgate has had some of the poorest defenders at his disposal but arguably a large number of choices in attacking positions, espec...
